Factors affecting the Ceratomyxa shasta infectious cycle and transmission between polychaete and salmonid hosts

Creator:

Bjork, Sarah J.

Abstract:

Ceratomyxa shasta is a myxozoan parasite that infects salmonid fishes causing the disease ceratomyxosis that is characterized by severe hemorrhage and necrosis of the intestine and death of the fish host. Ceratomyxa shasta is endemic to the Pacific Northwestern United States and Canada, where epizootics are reported for both wild...

research questions to be addressed. The effect of water temperature and velocity on M. speciosa survival
Modeling abiotic influences on disease dynamics for the complex life cycle of the myxozoan parasite Ceratomyxa shasta

Creator:

Ray, Robert Adam

Abstract:

Most parasites and their hosts live in a balance within their environment; however a disease outbreak can occur when either the parasite, host, or environment, are perturbed. Myxozoan parasites are associated with a wide variety of cultured and wild fish populations. Most myxozoans are relatively benign to their vertebrate host;...
